Happy New Year! I hope you all have enjoyed your 2 weeks of break! Tomorrow we are back to the grind... but what a fun semester it will be! Here's what's coming up for Unity Music Department over the next several weeks: 3rd/4th General Music: Mrs. Thorsen and Ms. Becky will be sending home a note sometime this week regarding purchasing recorders. All students in the 3rd and 4th grade will need to purchase a recorder for $4 from Mrs. Thorsen or Ms. Becky. Students will learn to play recorders throughout the Third Quarter. 5th/6th General Music: These students will spend this semester learning and overview of Music History. We will begin with Classical Music starting this week. Beginning Band: Beginning Band students will continue to practice in sections for another 6-8 weeks. Around early March, Mrs. Thorsen will begin combining the sections for a full group rehearsal one day a week. They can expect to participate in the concert in the Spring (May). You can download the January calendar at the bottom of this post. 6th Grade Band/ Concert Band/ Concert Choir: These groups will begin preparing for their next concert immediately. The date for the next concert is still TBA. Mrs. Thorsen will establish the date with the music boosters during the next meeting. Mrs. Thorsen would like to have a party for these students sometime in the next several weeks. We have some food and supplies left over from the football concessions to put toward party food, but we would also ask for some parents to bring things as well. Watch for a note concerning this as well! Thank you so much for your continued support and help! Let's get this semester started!
